I recently converted from Dish and find the process for recording live and buffered shows much more difficult and confusing on TiVo.
On the Hopper; all you had to do was press the record button at any point during a live show you had on and it would start recording immediately; including any buffered portion of the show. At the worst case, you would have to rewind back through the buffered portion of the show to get to a starting point and press record. With my Roamios and Bolt; pressing the record button during a live show just kicks you into a One-Pass menu, but actually records nothing. I have learned to get around this by creating a Manual recording timer, but the rules are confusing. This all came to a head today when we were watching the "Flea Market Flip" marathon. We were on full buffer delay and decided halfway through an episode that we wanted to record it. The whole show was in the buffer, so I tried going back to the beginning and hitting record; nothing recorded. I then tried to setup a manual timer, but it wouldn't work because the show had already "ended" in real-time.
I did finally get a manual timer to work by extending the end time 30 minutes into the future. The recording included the entire show; including stuff from before the 30 minute buffer. How stupid and confusing.
Is there a way to request feature changes from TiVo?
